They don't always die in the same fashion, one smoked out, one just simply quit responding, one the screen died etc.
Doesn't help that she buys the cheaper ones though either, but I've seen several other people who've had theirs die as well even though they'd paid more than hers while mine has been gong strong for years through over 10 moves, 2 kids, and countless lightning storms.
First is cat in the bag, others seem to be perfectly working with dead control logic - repairable. Magnetrons(radio-emitting food-heating job-doing thing) are very reliable. My direct relatives have 3 microwaves in different locations: two bought between 1990-2005 and one bought between 2009-2013. All are working, one of them had mica plate replaced a few times.
If you sure you will never leave microwave on and not afraid of it looking kolhozno(I think closet thing is redneck engieneered), then you can replace control logic with switch and relay.
